Pre-season friendly at the Welfare Ground.
Strange game this .. for the first 45 minutes it was difficult to tell which team was CMFL and which was Evo-Stik, as Blidworth totally controlled the play. Brett Marshall looks to have put together a decent squad at Blidworth, with more than a sprinkling of his former Kirkby Town players. The addition of Dean Rick means that in Haslam, Rick and Bramwell the front line looks formidable.
The only goal of the half though was scored on 27 when JAY EDWARDS fired past Hales after he was picked out superbly by a cross-field ball from Steve McGurk. Haslam and Bramwell brought out a superb double save from the Wrens keeper a few minutes later, then on 38 he had to be alert to tip over Rick's powerful drive. H-T 1-0
Carl Haslam in full flight
As with most pre-season games, the second half brought myriad changes to both teams and the game lost some of it's interest. The visitors levelled after 75 minutes had been played, a superb curling shot from 20+ yards from BRENDON SWEENEY the gave Frost in the Blidworth goal no chance. Blidworth were given the chance to re-take the lead four minutes later after they were awarded a penalty for hand-ball in the box, but the spot kick was hit way over the goal and into the trees by "no number" Spares some blushes having no number, eh?? F-T 1-1 Nice, pleasant evening, spent with Mr. Brian Reece, Pinxton's Darrel Bailey and the irrepressible Gordon Foster.
